Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Bahia 78%, the draw 19%, Chapecoense-sc 3%. It finished Bahia 2–0 Chapecoense-sc.
Bahia's rating gap decides it — Bahia are clearly the stronger side on our strength rating, and Brasileirão Série A home advantage on top makes it one-sided for Bahia. The draw at 19% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Bahia at 78%?
Bahia sit 310 points higher on our strength rating — 1654 to 1345. Sides with a more than 300-point rating edge at home won 79.8% of 5,011 such games. Brasileirão Série A home sides out-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 24.9% norm) and away wins (24.8% vs 30.2%). Brasileirão Série A homes won 48.3% of 4,358 games vs 44.9% across all 98,207 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly. The 300 most similar past games finished 73–18–9.
Why not higher?
No scored evidence points the other way. 78% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 19% and Chapecoense-sc at 3%.
Why is the draw only 19%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 16.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.5% of 24,570. Brasileirão Série A runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points.
What did we measure but not count?
Bahia average 17 points more possession, but the rating gap here is 310 points. Our control receipt only exists between near-equals — there it moved results; across a class gap we could not measure a separate style edge, so style scores 0 here. Bahia are missing 1 regular starter — Luciano Juba — about 16% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
